Had to pick this one due to V Series Stag Beetle making this much more fun. Now of course I wouldn’t rate Machining as an all-time great in Premium, considering it still needs the old low-shield, 5k power granting triggers for consistency but paralyzing the Vanguard is still a decent strategy in its own right, considering not even Tarna can fix it since Alfred still needs to be standing to Superior Ride.

Power-creep inevitably hit this card but you could do worse. Megacolony has like Overwhelm and that’s about it, so…

2.75/5
